People shocked about the horrors of of animal cruelty in the bio industry. More at 11. Tomorrow on our menu, probably steak or bacon. 😐

Do you want new prion diseases? Because that’s how you get new prion diseases.

Isn't animal agriculture so fun? Always some neat new horrors you couldn't even come up with

[–] asbestos@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

sweet human made horrors beyond my comprehension

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

peeping the horror has never been less fun! (Though the amount of death has remained the same)

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Every pig they feed in this manner is absorbing the combined knowledge of every pig that preceded it. I look forward to being treated fairly and kindly by our new superintelligent pig race overlords with decades of memories of human depravity and cruelty pre-wired into their brains from birth. I look forward to my very kind and gentle treatment indeed.

Eh, that’s more the spread. The cause is the misfolding prion. Mad cow can spontaneously crop up every now and then.

[–] oo1@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

Of course! We should've been eating the covid victims.
That's what big Pharma didn't want us to know.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 16 points 2 years ago

Yup animal industry is fucking disgusting

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

You do know that pigs can and will eat anything right? They can digest a fucking human corpse in a matter of hours.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Keep in mind here they are also specifically feeding diseased and infected dead pig

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To build their immunity, yes. Sort of like a vaccine.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

So you eat a diseased meet to build up your immunity right?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I guess it's impossible to know on internet but they might not be a pig

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Source please.

No animal eats its own kind. And shit neither, if it isnt because or vitamin B12 or immense stress.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Of course there are animals who kills their own kind, you can find it in a quick Google search.

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's the point of your comment? No one claimed animals don't kill their own kind.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What? Have you actually read the comment I replied?

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yes. Do you know that there's a difference between "kill" and "eat"?

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

And the killing was obviously on the context of eating... Do we have to be 100% pedantic so people can understand?

[–] floridaman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

Cannibalism happens all the time in nature? Some animals eat their own children, humans are animals that do cannibalism on occasion, yes it's fucked up that we are feeding dead diseased pigs to other pigs but lots of things are fucked up too, and saying that cannibalism doesn't happen in nature isn't helping to solve the issue here.

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Google savaging.

That url tho.

Ever heard of the french delicacy named foie gras ?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Banned in my country, it seems

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

As it should be. This thing is beyond animal cruelty.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Is this how we got the term feedback?

[–] outer_spec@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Hey, humans eat pork all the time, but god forbid pigs have some pork

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

i hereby take back every argument i have made against veganism

[–] soupcat@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

one of us, one of us

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Grats on deciding to go vegan, lmk if you want some recipe suggestions.

also an oft overlooked area is dyes in food and cosmetics, some are derived from crushing arthropods :(

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

:( but you said you took back your arguments. I assumed you thought it was something we should do from that

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Humans are inherently hypocritical.

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well we're capable of being, but most people try to do what they think is right.

I would've thought if someone finds this horrifying they'd feel they don't have a choice but to change the source of their materials. It's pretty easy to start doing, even if you are overwhelmed with cooking or whatever start learning and just get plant based food when you buy ready meals or eat out etc, stop buying leather belts and shoes and so on.

[–] SimplyATable@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or just start keeping in mind where your food is coming from. There are places that don't do things like this

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Firstly you have basically no control over that. Any idea where the gelatin in a bag of lollies came from? what about rennet in your cheese? or even the milk?

secondly everywhere is doing shit like this. Profit is the motive, abuse happens. Everywhere goes to the same slaughterhouses and feedlots, chickens all come from the same factories, fish are all suffocated to death in a net.

[–] 257m@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Well its a good thing I don't eat pork.
